NEWJEANSS :jonny: ETA sounds amazing. the MV is really cool, but I wish it hasn't been filmed on an iphone :monkey:

ASAP is probably my least favorite song, but to be honest my expectations were HIGH. Maybe it will grow on me.

Get Up is 0:36 seconds long?! We demand a 4-minute version, wtf Ador?! :mad:

NewJeans bringing back STORY to music videos rather than just being in a box and looking cute. A trendsetter.

ETA is easily the best song on this glorified single album.

Even if y'all have mixed reception towards ASAP, y'all know the "Just for a minute, Tik Tak" part is going to be viral in TikTac app right? :fan:

Okay then what about the two other 2NE1 songs that also demolished IATB in Korea that year. :rip:

Oh wowwww. Perched! :duca:

 

But the teaser/interlude being counted as a "track" in their mini is a bit of a scam though 🤭

this NewJeans EP is giving twitch stream background music, mostly in a cute way but still, I would hate it if this is what all of k-pop became :doc: 

like it's cute for a refreshing, countercultural moment but k-pop without the drama, the bombast, the overthetop concepts, the intricacy & the details... what is the point?

ETA sounds much fuller than the performance audio. I’m cool with all the songs on the EP, the whole thing flows well:coffee2: their vocals have matured too. 6.8/10

2011 was the year SNSD dropped the boys and had the biggest Kpop album of the year, outselling Super Junior:coffee2:  and the biggest girl group album of all time at that point

you were saying?

one of my straightest friends just messaged me that he loves cool with you because it autoplayed after the new travis scott song :deadbanana4: 

Meanwhile, in Korea, they're discussing travisscott lyrics and stuff.  What a time to be alive.

케이팝까는 건 아닌거같은데

You sm sheep can stay salty it doesn’t take away the fact that IATB is comparable to Gee (worldwide… not just Korea which y’all love to forget) and is even bigger in some ways

The music might be lowkey but the choreo and music videos are all that you mentioned and more

 

OT: ETA best song of all time :jonny:

Outside of Korea the songs are comparable as the 2 representative 2nd gen hits not called Gangnam style but Gee obviously is more iconic/known.

 

Arguing over who was more relevant abroad when both groups were selling in the 4 digit range in the US makes no sense against the millions and millions of sales both groups brought in in Korea though and in that discussion IATB isn't even a top 3 2NE1 song.

It’s not obvious especially when IATB is out streaming to this day:giraffe:

I’ve been saying! We love NewJeans for shaking the kpop industry up but we’ll miss the old mindless, shamelessly cringe + fun kpop if everyone started releasing understated english language vibey music like they do. (Speaking only for people that were kpop stans before 2022 though:lakitu:

 

IVE kinda feels like the last of the old guard of kpop, like the most classically kpop big 4th gen group out rn.

Also it would make more sense to compare IATB and The Boys since they came out the same year😆 why would you even attempt to compare it to gee is beyond me. Gee also outsold and outcharted IATB internationally so what are we even doing here😭Gee wins in every official metric at the end of the day anyways

IATB has been on Spotify nearly since it came out. Gee wasn't on Spotify until both groups were inactive.
